Elizabeth Berkeley shows up as the winner of "American Goddess" (a take-off on all of the extreme makeover shows) who disappears and leaves a mess in her dressing room. Since plastic surgery was part of the case, I will note that I did get a chuckle from Berkeley's recent caps on her front teeth to close the gap between them.
The emotional wreck that was the American Goddess showed a woman still with little in terms of being comfortable with her self and new body/face. It would appear the episode was an indictment on such makeover shows, and that the drastic actions taken by Berkeley's character to regain herself emotionally and physically leads to the Feds to crack the case.
Danny acted really strange at the end of the episode. Wonder what was going on with him. No subplot threads dealing with either Jack's home life or struggle for power between Jack and Vivian made it through in this episode.

What's with all the dramas featuring plastic surgery stories lately. Within one week, we had L&O, CSI, and WAT have stories revolving around plastic surgery. I guess Nip/Tuck is more powerful than we thought.

This was a very good episode and one that Danny was able to shine it. The reason for his behavior was due to the fact that he'd been affected by the case. He had a shallow view of people that went through ups and downs with dieting, but learned to empathize with those that have gone through alot trying to get to an ideal personal weight.
I thought he was great in this episode.

I really enjoyed it as well. Nice to see Elizabeth Berkeley on TV again. Nice to have a break from Jack's home life, but I would like to know if Sam and Martin are still knocking boots (I am assuming that they are).

There are a few times a year where he has some really great scenes/shows.
